It's an article she picked up somewhere.....Where ever it came from, it's a good one and worth passing alongHow often do you let other people's nonsense change your mood? Do you let a bad driver, rude waiter, curt boss, or an insensitive employee ruin your day? Unless you're the Terminator, for an instant you're probably set back on your heels.However, the mark of a successful person is... http://www.healthcentral.com/breast-cancer/c/80422/28229/law-garbage http://www.healthcentral.com/breast-cancer/c/80422/25891/heard-bs-bpa Thu, 24 Apr 2008 08:19:12 -0400 Angi Once again, it seems like just cause I have cancer, that's all I hear about.   Last night it was a TV commercial for a local hospital, today it's an advertisement on AOL.  Now I know that new studies come out all the time, and for every study that proves one thing, there's another that proves something else.  I for one get tired of hearing about it, and personally think that the researcher just through in cancer for good measure... http://www.healthcentral.com/breast-cancer/c/80422/25891/heard-bs-bpa http://www.healthcentral.com/breast-cancer/c/80422/25727/learning Tue, 22 Apr 2008 16:28:33 -0400 Angi It's no secret that this reoccurence has hit me hard, setting me back in a devastational tailspin of emotions.  While I am confident that I will beat breast cancer once again, I find myself faced with many fears, doubts, and concerns.   For instance it's been quite some time (about a year) since I had surgery with a new doctor.  With my plastic surgeon I have a high level of comfort, reliability and respect.  He knows how... http://www.healthcentral.com/breast-cancer/c/80422/25727/learning http://www.healthcentral.com/breast-cancer/c/80422/25544/education Fri, 18 Apr 2008 15:48:59 -0400 Angi Not sure if you're familiar with the magazine CURE. I found it yesterday while at the Surgical Oncologists' office. If you're a cancer patient, survivor or caregiver you can SIGN UP for a FREE subscription and you'll receive the handbook - 2008 Cancer Resource Guide. Both the handbook and magazine contain TONS of information on prevention, insight, how to deal with stress, and new drugs or treatments being approved for ALL TYPES of cancer. It... http://www.healthcentral.com/breast-cancer/c/80422/25544/education http://www.healthcentral.com/breast-cancer/c/80422/25543/oncologist Fri, 18 Apr 2008 15:47:12 -0400 Angi After I spoke with an Oncologist last week, I was starting to feel better about this whole "cancer" thing. I even saw my plastic surgeon this week who agreed on most points, and offered his services if assistance was needed moving the tissue expander out of the way.Well after those appointments I felt like all was okay - apparently I was wrong! One doctor told me that I shouldn't have to radiation, only chemotherapy. The other doctor said there... http://www.healthcentral.com/breast-cancer/c/80422/25543/oncologist http://www.healthcentral.com/breast-cancer/c/80422/25024/finally Sat, 12 Apr 2008 14:02:00 -0400 Angi Yesterday started off a day like any other. Got up, got Nat on the bus, scrubbed my newly zit covered face (knew the stress would "catch" up to me sooner or later, but I didn't think that I would end up hittin' puberty a second time around!) Once Natalie was on her way to school, I skipped my morning meds so I wouldn't fall asleep - I then showered, dressed, and drove across town to East Jefferson Hospital where this... http://www.healthcentral.com/breast-cancer/c/80422/25024/finally http://www.healthcentral.com/breast-cancer/c/80422/24606/breast-time Tue, 08 Apr 2008 22:17:00 -0400 Angi I'm still waiting and waiting to find an oncologist I like, get in with a radiation oncologist, and see a surgical oncologist - so I don't know anything other than I currently have have been diagnosed with Recurrent Breast Cancer - my plast surgeon found the tumor while placing bigger tissue expanders in my chest (I've had a double mastectomy, but the cancer was on the right side).  One oncologist I saw said that I can't go... http://www.healthcentral.com/breast-cancer/c/80422/24606/breast-time http://www.healthcentral.com/breast-cancer/c/80422/24364/treat Sun, 06 Apr 2008 19:51:00 -0400 Angi After recently being diagnosed with Recurrent Breast Cancer I started looking for info on the web about the cancer medication I take daily. I happened across this rather interesting site- and I wonder, just how does a post-chemotherapy med become a drug supposedly known as an efficient form of infertility treatment? You can find the link to the web article here - Femara as an Efficient Form of Infertility Treatment Check out the... http://www.healthcentral.com/breast-cancer/c/80422/24364/treat
